Hog roast hire in Mindenhurst, slow-roasted on site
We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. On the menu are new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater club events and presentations and big birthdays and anniversaries.
Somewhere as small as Mindenhurst, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.

- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
